Artwork by Yvonne DeBandi
As an artist, Yvonne’s work embraces diversity of medium and method. She enjoys exploring the tactile and the traditional, often blending approaches to see where creativity leads. Her love of nature and animals is highlighted in her creations:
- Fiber Arts – Needlefelting and wet felting, where wool becomes both whimsical and lifelike.
- Graphite Drawings – Detailed renderings that capture nuance, mood, and texture.
- Paintings – Expressive works in watercolor, acrylic, water-based oil, and traditional oils, each chosen for its ability to reflect the story within the canvas.
Every creation, whether sculpted, sketched, or painted, represents her ongoing exploration of how art can tell stories without words.
